With the advent of today’s online streaming services, one doesn’t have to buy a whole CD just because you liked that song. Spotify, the giant of the online music streaming service industry, offers you the option of creating your own playlists. And, a lot of us prefer the idea of being able to do that as it lets you select those exact songs that you would like to listen to, given your mood and environment.

Not just that, you can even share these playlists with your friends, buddies or family and let them enjoy your personal collection of songs too. It is great fun to see them all enjoying a playlist of tracks that you carefully create. Let us take a look at the different ways to share Spotify Playlists.

Part 1: Share Playlists on Spotify via PC

Now, Spotify believes in the fact that "sharing is caring" and so they have made it real easy to share your playlists using your computer. Follow these steps if you want to share your playlists.

This method works the same exact way on both Windows and Mac.

Step 1 Launch Spotify.

Launch Spotify on your computer and right click on the song that you would like to share. From the next drop down menu, select "Share".

Step 2 Login in.

In the next window that opens up, either type in the Facebook name of the person you want this shared with or you can also enter the Spotify username for them. Once that’s done, you simply have to click on the button that says "Send" to share the playlist.

Part 2: Share Playlists on Spotify through Email

This is pretty similar to the above method. All that you have to do is right click as you did earlier on any of the playlists or tracks that you want to share and from the drop down menu, select the option of "Copy HTTP Link" this time.

Now, all that you need to do is to paste that in an email and send it to the person you want to share it with.
